old-school has nothing to do with keeping the original type of block. and why do you spell old-school the new skool way?

There are no more traditional old school ways of making a car faster than by stuffing a bigger more powerful engine in there, or supercharging it, or cutting it up to add flares or make it into a racecar like they were back in the 70s.

dazzasute, Team_Dat, A14force, dattoman_1000, sunny, and anyone else who likes their old school with a bit more performance should form Team Real Old School or Fast Old School or something!

efi
yeh where do we belong?
what will it be with efi turbo ?
'cause it's coming ,
just have to finish the manifold.

I guess I'm not in either
Since my car has alittle cutting to fit the engine in

paste link to browser..... didn't want to work for me

What's this, a small dick club? Well, since the secrets out, ummm, i guess i'm in by defalt. WHAT, this is about cars? Look,... errrr,..just forget what i wrote before.

What about the A series EFI??? is that old school or new school????

haha... i didnt expect this much relpy to the forum... Its just abit of fun, of course all dattos rock with all different motors! im not trying to single out and cause dervision!

Team Oldskool is just some fun bettween members on here ( me, Kegs, Demojob, DVL DAT)..

I love Aseries power cause i decided to stick with it and enjoy it in my 1200, that doesnt mean im expecting everyone else to do the same. I just like to see other members have smiliar motors and oldskool power like i do thats why i put "Team Oldskool" on my signature, which has been there for ages

Have Fun peoples go the oldskool go the newskool, just own a datto

Team Oldskool

"because they havent given in to the easy newskool ways which too many 1200s have"

Hah! how long would it take you to throw a new a series in your mobile? a day???

its like saying "who wants to join the small dick club? its real cool, yeah, we don't need big dicks! youre taking the easy way out if you have one, who's in?"

well not really but i'm laughing as i type it. i love the old a series, but a step up in technology and power is not a cop out. it takes quite a lot of thought and planning not to mention the time and effort.

Go the datto i say!

Not divisions but segments; I'm a fan of Old Skool with my racer , I like the fact it is streetable and am willing to give up performance for that Old Skool look.
Now with that said if I had huge bucks I would keep my current car plus get a bone stock coupe , a twin cam turbo coupe with monster flares and a sedan for Gravel Rally.
What makes our group unigue is we all have differnat views of the perfect 1200 but also take joy in seeing other visions of the perfect 1200.

What about me? (not that I give a toss)
I have a single downdraft carb fed drawthrough supercharged "A" series 1200.
And a soon to be soon to be L20 powered 310 with twin sidies. (No cutting required)
And another A series 310 aswell. (which I have dellortos for , but haven't fitted them yet)

I think that the whole concept is daft. What pupose does this serve, other than to create division within this site.

It's just as silly as the monumental arguments of turbo vs supercharger, or drawthrough vs blowthrough.

Each to his own. Respect it.

Wait till Bernie Eccelstone gets wind that theres a breakaway group starting to form...

I with what ever you can afford to go faster than the rest.
